About
The Rotaract Club of LICET is a student-driven organization that falls under Rotary International District 3233 and is proudly sponsored by the Rotary Club of Madras North West. The club is committed to fostering leadership, promoting fellowship, and driving impactful service through the support and values of the larger Rotary family.
Rotaract is a service club for young people aged 18 to 30 who are dedicated to finding innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing challenges while developing leadership skills and making friends from around the world. Rotaract clubs decide how to organize and run their own clubs, manage their funds, and plan and carry out activities and service projects that are important to their communities. Rotary clubs that sponsor Rotaract clubs offer guidance and support and work with Rotaractors as partners in service.
